Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. In a mixing bowl combine the granulated sugar flour and oats, then cut the butter into the mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. Alternatively you can use your hands. Simply rub the chilled butter into the flour and oat mix with your fingers to create little chunks. Make sure all dry ingredients have been moistened with the butter. Add the pecans or any other nuts you are using and mix.
- Meanwhile peel, core and sliced the apples, then toss with brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and vanilla. Transfer the apples to a buttered 9X13 inch baking dish or a large cast iron pan. Then scatter the streusel mix all over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes.
